You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them:How were people on the home front encouraged to participate in the war effort?

This assignment should be at least 300 words and contain your reactions or questionsabout some specific issue within the historical narrative that you find compelling. For fullcredit, your paper must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there.Rather, I’m looking for you to create your own interpretation, explain the emotionalcontent of the piece, or discuss some original insight.
